Wow women barely speak in Christopher Nolan films #UGHwatch

Wondering why I hadn’t noticed this before last night but then again haven’t rewatched shit in a while

No wonder Elon musk fanbois love these films. Especially Elon musk fanbois

Can you imagine that these violent, carceral and poorly imagined films are quoted as introduction to ethics/mental health by engineering boys even today? Quote the joker one more time and i will physically throw up

And what a disservice to some truly incredible graphic novels. Serious house on serious earth was amazing even if it’s clinical attitude to mental health was strange. It wove a truly brilliant web, every page. The films are ugh in comparison

Lol see not even making this up. Even beyond the Bechdel test, the movies are centred around male redemption as a result of “sacrificing a few/self to save all” fantasy.

But redemption is key. Man seeks, begets and is redeemed. Women enable the journey and watch in awe. “What a guy, take me now”. Puke. Martha Wayne doesn’t interact with Bruce at all in Batman begins. Talia is not even mention. LOL. But oh such complex story telling look. PUKE

Ariadne does the emotional labour to understand Cobb. “Have you told the others that you can’t build?” Bro she was the only one who even noticed. Men are so busy changing the world that they are completely disconnected from their own emotional lives UNTIL A WOMAN EXPLAINS IT LOL

Mal was so fascinating. Her decades in her dream changed her. She woke up unable to reconnect with her world. Cobb on the other hand retained his masculine objectivity. He woke up unchanged, having discovered a new tool.

The best he could offer was “she was different and so I know inception was possible cause I did it.” Ugh

I was so annoyed at how much they cut down Talias role to Bane’s protector, Ra’s’ avenger. Talia is amazing on her own. Anne Hathaway on the other hand was a pretty distraction for Batman to end up with. His real ally was Alfred. And he’s supposed to be the moral centre ugh lol

Let’s not even open the can of worms that is the prestige. Woman dies. Men fight to avenge her but actually it’s a who is bigger contest. They do cool magic. Tesla is cool. Musk is amazing. The end. Meh

Why did I like this shit? Or date people who not only liked it but condescendingly explained it to me later? With every passing day, I feel more disconnected from past relationship choices.

It’s like sexism inside a male construction of what is amazing inside the fantasy of saving everyone so as to plant the idea that a man who struggles with his ethical decisions is sexy. The real inception is reinforcing that men like these are sexy. Puke

Never mind he’s violent with self-aggrandising tendencies who speaks to women ONLY when he wants to grow or for therapy. He’s not really interested in them or invested in them. Also look cool gadget/hypothesis. Also someone he loved was killed so he’s nurturing pain. End of film.

The absolute pits is ambiguous ending as a presentation of depth. When characters are unidimensional, creating a “omg what really happened” is a dog chasing tail equivalent.

The audience is so busy trying to think about the adventures of these men that all moral dilemmas are subsumed by fascination for their lives. Cobb was the driver, Mal was driven. So she exists to add a dimension to him that he doesn’t possess. Same with the Prestige boys. Puke

The literal premise of all his films is “not all men” in differing contexts. lol. His fans make the same arguments lol. But bhai duniya to masculine chutiyapa pe hee imagine kar rahe ho na? Go away

Man speaks to man. Blows up a building. One man is good. One man is bad. Bad one changes the good or vice-versa. They say seemingly complex things that management/engineering bros would stick printouts of in their rooms. Cool tricks. Guess which movie I’m talking about?

Basically bro I like Fight Club evolves into bro I like Nolan. MAHA PUKE

Moral of the thread: don’t watch Nolan. Watch Schitt’s Creek. The end.

PS: This thread is less than basic. Someone smarter please write/send something on this?

Ignoring DMs recommending Nolan films/rewatch. Thanks but no thanks go away
